Open Doors for Art

KunstOffen is one of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's largest art events: On Pentecost weekend, over 1,000 artists nationwide open their studios, workshops, and galleries at more than 600 locations.

The offerings are diverse – ranging from painting and photography to textile art, sculpture, ceramics, and jewelry.
